To all whom it may mm.

Be it known that-.1, EDWARD O. BLANKEN snip,

at Lakeside, in the county of Chelan and State of Washington, have invented certain.

new and useful Improvements in Saw-Sets, of which the following is a specification, reference being had therein to the accompany- 1 "ing drawing.

t for its principal object to provide a device This invention relates to saw sets and has that can be easily, and readily manipulated and which can be manufactured at a low cost.

Thef'objectbroadly stated above is attained by the provision of a saw set comprisp ing a base having a pair of longitudinally; extending spaced apart arms, a gage and set mount dbetween said arms, and a hen-- dle pivoted to the arms for holding the saw in place while setting the teeth.

In carrying out the objects generally stated above it will be understood of course,

'- that the essential features thereof are susthat the ceptible of changes in details and structural arrangements, a preferred and practical embodiment being shown in the accompanying drawings, wherein Figure 1 is a view in side elevation constructed in accordance with .this invention. Fig. 2 is a top plan view thereof. Fig. 3 is a side elevation partly in section. Fig. 4 is a transverse sectional view on the line 4- 4 in Fig. 1., Fig. 5 is a transverse sectional view on the line 5-5 in Fig. 1. Fig. 6 is a perspective view of the bolt for securing the gage to the base of the saw se Referring to the drawings, it will be seen inventioncomprises a base'7 made of suitable material, which is thick. adjacent the middle portion and tapers on its upper surface, toward one end thereof. The base at its thickest portion is provided with a flat transverse groove 8 that is provided with a tooth abutting wall 9.

The end 10 of the base. 7 is thickened to provide a pair of parallel spaced apart lonpivot ear 12 having a transverseopening for the reception of a pivot P111 ,13. A saw clamping handle 14, is pivotally mounted upon the pin 13 and is provided adjacent its p vot point with a cam 15 that is adapted to a citizen of'the United States, residing engage a saw and securely hold'the same in position for setting.

Slidably mounted between the arms 11 and in a longitudinally extending inclined groove 16 that merges into the groove 8, is

E a gage 17. The gage is secured to the base 7 by means of a screw threaded bolt 18. Said bolt is provided with a head 19 that is countersunk in the elongated slot20, of the base 7 and a nut 21-is screwed on to the other end of the bolt, thus securely clamping the gage to the base. The inner bottom en of the gage is reduced to provide an overhanging vertical sleeve22 through which the striker 23 extends. The said striker is rovided on its outer end with an enlarged head 24 and has its inner end-25 beveled so as to be parallel with the transverse groove 8. .A transverse pin 26 passes through the sleeve .22 and is adapted to engage a longitudinally extending; recess 27 in the shank of the striker to limit the vertical move-' ment thereof and also prevent any rotary.

movement. Between the inner end ofthe head 24 and the outerend of-the sleeve 22 a coil spring 28 is wound about the striker and is adapted to normally hold the same in a position shown in Fig.- 3.

When it is desired to set a tooth, the handle 14 .is raised and the saw is laid fiat upon the upper surface of the base 7 so that the, tooth to be set'comes directly under the striker 23. The handle is then lowered and the cam 15 thereof engages the saw and causes it to be securely held incposition. A hammer may head 24 thus causing the beveled end of the striker to come into contact with the tooth to be set and bend the same to the desired length. This length may be obtained by the longitudinal adjustment of the gage 17 by 183.11? of the bolt 18, and the slot 20 of the ase a What I claim as my invention is -1. A saw set comprising a base provided.

2. A saw set com risin .a base a air of then be employed to strike the arms carried thereby, a handle ivot'ed to said arms, a cam on said hand e, agage slidable on said base, a" vertical'sleeve carried by one end of said gage, a striker slidable in said sleeve, a spring carried by said striker for normally retaining the same in a raised position, with a ion 'itudin'al' recess and a transverse pin in sai "sleeve adapted to engage said szpid striker being provided recess for limiting the vertical movement 10 and preventing rotary movement of sa d striker. y e In testimony whereof I hereunto afiix my signature in presence of two witnesses.
